According to a February research report by Precedence Research, the global AI market is projected to grow from $757.58 billion in 2025 to approximately $3.68 trillion by 2034, with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 19.20%. North America led the market in 2024 with valuations of $235.63 billion, while the Asia Pacific region is expected to see the highest growth rate at nearly 20% during the forecast period.
The U.S. market alone is expected to expand from $146.09 billion in 2024 to $851.46 billion by 2034, growing at a 19.33% CAGR. Some major factors driving AI adoption include increased investment in research, the need for automation across industries, and favorable government initiatives. The report states that major tech companies are accelerating AI advancements, while industries like healthcare, automotive, and financial services are integrating AI to improve operations. Furthermore, the banking, financial services, and insurance sectors are experiencing a surge in AI adoption for fraud detection, data analytics, and cybersecurity.
Hardware-based AI solutions are emerging to improve efficiency, with companies like IBM and Intel developing AI chipsets, the report states. Meanwhile, regulatory changes, such as the European Union’s data protection laws and FDA approvals for AI-based healthcare solutions, are shaping the industry.
AI Investment Shifts Toward Monetization and Sustainability
In a CNBC interview, Rahul Ghosh of T. Rowe Price showed optimism about AI but acknowledged that capital expenditure growth is slowing. While hyperscalers are still increasing their AI-related investments, the projected 44-45% growth for 2025 is far lower than the triple-digit increases seen in recent years. An important concern is how much of this spending is supported by free cash flow compared to leverage, as excessive borrowing could raise sustainability risks. The market focus has shifted from general AI adoption to monetization, with analysts and investors assessing which companies are truly profiting from AI. Large internet and e-commerce firms, especially in the U.S. and China, are leading in AI-driven revenue generation. While major tech players currently dominate the market, Ghosh sees opportunities for smaller AI models that could power new consumer applications.

Dell Technologies Inc. (NYSE:DELL) provides computing, storage, networking, cybersecurity, and IT solutions for businesses and consumers worldwide.
On February 28, Goldman Sachs analyst Mike Ng reaffirmed a Buy rating on Dell Technologies with a $145 price target. His positive outlook is based on strong Q4 FY25 earnings, driven by Infrastructure Solutions Group (ISG) performance, which compensated for weaker Client Solutions Group results. Some of the key factors include strong ISG margins, AI server growth, and a focus on high-margin products. While there are challenges in AI server orders, Dell’s substantial backlog and upcoming PC refresh cycle in FY26 indicate growth potential, supported by early market recovery signs.
Overall, DELL ranks 4th on our list of AI news and ratings you probably missed. While we acknowledge the potential of DELL as an investment, our conviction lies in the belief that AI stocks hold greater promise for delivering higher returns and doing so within a shorter time frame.
